Quality Assurance & Compliance Flashcards

Which document must all participants sign before joining a BAI-certified archery program?

Answer: Liability waiver and informed consent form

A liability waiver and informed consent form ensures participants acknowledge the inherent risks of archery and legally protects the instructor and facility.

What additional certification must a USA Archery BAI instructor maintain alongside their archery instructor credential?

Answer: First Aid and CPR certification

USA Archery requires BAI instructors to hold current First Aid and CPR certification to respond to medical emergencies on the range.

When an archery-related injury occurs during a class, what must the instructor complete as soon as the situation is stabilized?

Answer: A written incident report documenting the event in detail

A written incident report creates a legal and factual record of what occurred, which is required by USA Archery and most facility liability policies.

Which organization administers and issues the BAI (Basic Archery Instructor) certification in the United States?

Answer: USA Archery

USA Archery is the national governing body for the sport and administers the BAI certification program for entry-level archery instructors.

For programs serving participants under 18, what additional compliance step is typically required before a student joins?

Answer: Notarized parental consent form

Minors cannot legally sign liability waivers, so a parent or legal guardian must provide notarized consent on the child's behalf.

A BAI instructor's certification expires mid-session of a multi-week program. What is the correct course of action?

Answer: Cease instruction immediately until the certification is renewed

Teaching archery without a current certification violates USA Archery standards and exposes the instructor and facility to significant liability.

How long should student participation records and signed waivers generally be retained by an archery program?

Answer: At least three years, or longer per state statute of limitations

Records should be kept for at least three years (often longer for minors) to protect against delayed liability claims within the statute of limitations.
